Ultimately, it is the behavior of individual cells, such as cell migration and cell shape change, that underlies the formation of tissues and organs. We aim to understand how cells interpret information to implement different cell behaviours and how different behaviours are coordinated. Furthermore, we study how signalling is transduced into specific activities of the cytoskeleton and how different cytoskeletal activities are coordinated to execute a certain behaviour.<\/span>\r\n<span>To gain insights into the regulation and coordination of cell behaviours, we study the morphogenesis of the adult abdominal epidermis of Drosophila. Employing a combination of in vivo 4D microscopy and sophisticated genetics, we observe and quantify all cell behaviours after experimental manipulation of the system. This allows us to gain a deeper understanding of morphogenetic processes and the underlying cell behaviours.<\/span>","post_excerpt":"We are interested in how shape and form arise during animal development. During morphogenesis, cells interpret complex information and react accordingly to shape tissues and organs. Here, many cell behaviours, such as cell migration and cell shape changes, work together. Despite recent progress, it still remains mysterious how all these behaviours are regulated and coordinated.","post_author":"65","post_date":"2022-09-08 00:10:52","post_date_gmt":"2022-09-07 23:10:52","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"bischoff-lab","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-21 10:18:04","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-21 10:18:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/?post_type=research_group&#038;p=158","menu_order":0,"post_type":"research_group","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","comments":false,"_thumbnail_id":["131","4","2022-02-25 13:57:54","2022-02-25 13:57:54","","MB-spreading-histoblast","","inherit","open","closed","","mb-spreading-histoblast","","","2022-02-25 13:57:54","2022-02-25 13:57:54","","94","https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/01\/MB-spreading-histoblast.jpg","0","attachment","image\/jpeg","0","131"],"id":158}],"related_centre":[{"ID":77,"post_title":"Biomedical Sciences Research Complex","post_content":"<span>The\u00a0Biomedical Sciences Research Complex (BSRC) is an interdisciplinary centre for biomedical research with contributions from the Schools of Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Physics and Astronomy.\u00a0The BSRC's main research themes are infection and immunity, biophysics, molecular medicine, and chemical biology.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/bsrc\">Main Website<\/a>","post_excerpt":"","post_author":"4","post_date":"2022-01-17 15:53:50","post_date_gmt":"2022-01-17 15:53:50","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"biomedical-sciences-research-complex","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-09-20 13:31:47","post_modified_gmt":"2022-09-20 12:31:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/?post_type=research_centre&#038;p=77","menu_order":0,"post_type":"research_centre","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","comments":false,"id":77}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_theme\/199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research_theme"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/research_theme"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biology.st-andrews.ac.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
